2.4OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS (CONT'D)

3.To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.

4.When using any attachment, never direct the discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

5.Before attempting to start the engine, with the operator in the seat, disengage power to the cutter deck, place the steering control levers in the neutral position and engage the parking brake.

6.If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to stop before removing the obstruction. Do not use your hand to dislodge the clogged discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to remove clogged material.

7.Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any dropoff. Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.), underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden hazards.

8.Disengage power to the cutter deck before backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after observation of the entire area behind the mower.

9.DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.

10.Disengage power to the cutter deck before crossing roads, walks or gravel drives.

11.Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

12.Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended, such as disengaging the mower, lowering the attachments, setting the parking brake, stopping the engine, and removing the key.

13.Disengage power to the attachments when transporting or when not in use.

14.The machine and attachments should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object, and damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the machine.

15.DO NOT touch the engine or the muffler while the engine is running or immediately after stopping. These areas may be hot enough to cause a burn.

16.DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could cause death.

2.5 MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS

1.Never make adjustments to the machine with the engine running unless specifically instructed to do so. If the engine is running, keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.

2.Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent accidental starting of the engine when servicing or adjusting the machine.

3.Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight, to ensure the machine is in safe working condition.

4.Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. See the engine operator's manual for information on engine settings.

5.To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, excessive grease, oil and dirt.

6.Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure. Keep body and hands away from pinholes or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. If you need service on your hydraulic system, please see your authorized Scag dealer. Hydraulic fluid under high pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.
